Feb 17th

It's been kind of a crazy week.  I haven't had a whole lot of down time, which is gopod, I suppose, but I am tired.  I'me made a list of improtant things that happened during the week so I have something to remember to write about.
Story #1
We're baptizing a kid on Friday.  He's super cool and thinks like he's in his mid-20's.  When he's only 13.  Anyways,m his step-dad started listening to our discussions and started participating a little.  We're thinking hey cool!  His dad wants to hear about the gospel.  THEN we learned that he was and ANTI!!! WhAAAT!!!  Yep.  Those guys who stand outside the temple with signs and bullhorns?  This guy.. CRAP! Then, revelation! We took him to the temple open house with (his son) and it was super fantastic!  They both had a super spiritual experience and they both committed to baptism.  We'll see how that goes!  I'll likely get transferred this month. We'll see.  I've been in the same area for 12 weeks now, so maybe I'll get shipped to Yuma or Maricopa.  Then our zoned leaders have been in the same area for eight months... so... yeah.  We'll see.

Story #2
We were visiting a sister who is an avid stamp collector.  We helped her move eight or ten huge crates of stamps that were covered in this black dusty stuff!  I thought it was mouse poop or something, but then I  noticed the egg sacs.. They were black widow eggs!  and the insides of the crates were covered with HUGE black widows!  I HATE SPIDERS!!! To make matters worse, [there were a lot of ]feral cats, and they're zooming and hissing and fighting, (and mating) all over the place!....And there is an lot of juice in a black widow.  We gooshed bunches of them.  That's all for this week!
